DDH West Coast Double IPA w/ Nelson Cryo, Riwaka & Nectaron
It’s not everyday that Dr Ron (a mad scientist of hop breeding genius that has created 16 different New Zealand Hop varietals including Nelson, Riwaka, Nectaron and many more within the 40 years of his career), Devin (of @nzhops ), and Brent (5th generation hop farmer and owner of @machops ) come for a visit and a brew day here at Green Cheek. We spent the day smelling hops, talking hops, bbq’n, and just trying to soak up as much wisdom from these legends as possible! Tasting notes? That good ol’ NZ funk (that we often describe as gooseberry), yuzu, lychee, and a dab of the devli’s lettuce.

Pours a lightly hazy, copper-gold, with mid-sized head. Aroma is grass, bread, some pine. Flavors follow. Crisp mouthfeel. Fairly strong hop bitterness in the finish.
